Had the privilege of attending the very first program in the Mahler project - what a treat! Was wonderful to attend the pre-concert lecture and become familiar with a few of the details of Mahler's life. I'm looking forward to LA Phil LIVE - I wish I could have attended another "live" concert, but thank you for the participation with Fathom Events.

Music is the universal language- and Mr. Mahler spoke it with such passion and beauty!

This probably won't come as a surprise to many, but Gustavo Dudamel is mad about Mahler.

So...can you understand where Gustavo is coming from? Do you wake up with a Mahler symphony in your head? Have you written a blog post about his music or a poem celebrating the composer? Or are you, like so many others, just discovering his work but somehow aware that Mahler's music is special?

Whatever stage of Mahler madness you're at - Mahler newbie, Mahler lover or Mahler maniac - Gustavo and we here at the LA Phil would like you to do something for us.

We want you to show us your Mahler.

It's easy enough to do.
